Lowtemp,
Were you able to contact Manitowoc's technical service dept and find the solution to the problem of "ice full"? I would love to know the answer.

thank you for clearing that up as I've been wondering about it. i will pass along the info to friends & industry acquaintances who are unfamiliar with the damper & this issue

Wiz, the dual or twin and quad evaps have this kind of set up. The twin s series had them too. Take a look at a Taco Bell unit.

Also the BRAND new 48" Indigos have a damper set up and not a water curtain.

Here is the link:

We just talked about this on our last free monthly service webcast.

Did you removed all the packing material? If you didn't,that might be the source of the problem.

Ah got yah! Haven't dealt with any of the free standing machine, lots of IY (on a Pepsi machine) put in around 50 had issues with about 3 dampers very strange issue. I think it actually had to do with the dispenser pushing ice into the dampers and damaging them. Manitowoc recommends filing the one end but I have one that still gives me the occasional problem.

I think every indigo. At least all that I have installed and serviced IY is the designation for all the taco bells. Is just a little flap at the bottom of the evap used to be on the IBs and I think some qmQ module machines

Check Manitowoc website for applicable service bulletins. Good luck!

I agree

Re:manitowoc indigo -full bin problem

Have you grounded your machine properly? Don’t uninstall anything before the manitowac service engineers come there. If you perceive the problem still, just switch off the machine and wait for them. It is the best idea.

2things. There is a large washer u need to remove on thickness probe after installation and the is also an adjustable bin control on those units. The settings are in the board. I don't have book in front of me but u should call manitowic and they should set u straight.

lowtemp,
Do you have a model number for us to work with ?

agree on the ground.

a little off topic but id like to think improper grounding of machines must rank high on calls to the factory for machines that don't function right. . . . for machines in play for a while i bet that high ranking call is filthy machines/components

Ditto on the Ground. Make sure the machine is grounded properly or those sensors will not work right.

The switch is easy to test..........Got Ground?

there's a magnet you just can't see it. it would be under the white plastic on the inside of the curtain. indigo is basically an S series machine with a bunch of extras
